    We’ve been regulars here for food for years, in the last 6 months it’s gone down hill drastically. Our last two meals we have had here we have complained about and sent back, due to a number of reasons, poor quality, being cold, inadequate portions. We stopped going for a while because of this and then decided to give it another try today. Sad to say it was more than disappointing, the steak tasted off. The prawns with our starters had no flavour whatsoever and came out cold. My daughter had a morsel portion of desert, my custard was so cold I sent it back, only for the staff to give me a lukewarm alternative. My partners beef roast looked like a child’s portion, the potatoes were rock hard and had been cooked in old oil and the staff were inattentive. It’s a beautiful location - and lovely interiors, if you're going for drinks it’s perfect but as far as the food is concerned I would strongly recommend avoiding unless you want to be disappointed or you are happy to eat less than mediocre food. We won’t be going back again after today. Such a shame! Reluctant to leave a poor review however we have complained about it directly the two times previously and unfortunately the feedback hasn’t been taken on board and that was reflected in the food and service today!

    Came here for drinks and some snacks. The restaurant is well decorated and staff were warm and welcoming. Drinks selection on offer is good and the service was good too. Unfortunately as some other reviews also suggest, the food is overpriced/ small portions.
